Anglish Runestaff

The upper Runestaffhoard is the staffhoard used to write Old English.

ᛇᛚᛝᚾᛗ

As the goalwork is yet unfinished, below lie two listings of dins our runestaff might have. Understand that the runes, throughout eretide, have woven many unlike dins. Thus, we may be soothed by our own whims. Let us then build a runestaff which thereafter can be brooked broadly by other Theedish tongues. The twithe board is not blan either.(I bede, if thou canst, give not the runes heathen names)
